Nice blue sky above and nice blue Little Kingfisher (Ceyx pusilla) under the trees beside the Osprey nest tree pool in Tyto Wetlands today. The little fish probably tasted pretty nice too.
Bit of technical interest. Top image shot with 1.4x converter attached to 400mm lens. Result? Smaller crop, but some loss of image quality compared to above image, shot without converter and consequently needing bigger crop. Both images have background denoised, steel eye fixed, colour adjusted and some minor background cloning.
